Collector's Choice!

Three very important decades presented through the ever-glamorous lens of Vogue, these books find elegance, shock, and humour in some of the most unexpected places! From early tourist board posters, to stark documentary photography, to portraits of the likes of Bob Hope and the ever-provocative Francis Bacon (complete with livestock), these books are about much more than just fashion...

New titles that we love...

We are very excited about Marc Rosen's Glamour Icons: Perfume Bottle Design this month. There are still a few signed copies available too... It seems we can't get enough of the 'high priestess of fashion' at the moment either - Diana Vreeland's new book The Eye Has to Travel, so it has been claimed, describes fashion 'as it is being invented'. Also of note is the magnificent Bals, a beautiful archive of legendary costume balls that will be a thrill for interior and costume designers alike. And, speaking of the theatre, we have copies of Oliver Messel's new book too, the aptly titled In the Theatre of Design. All available to buy online or in our shop.
